Republican Capitalists Unite to Cockpunch Capitalism.

From the Huffington Post:

While the economic consequences of the vote will be determined during the coming weeks, the outcome this afternoon was a major setback to John McCain, who had backed the proposal and portrayed himself as a party leader who would help win approval for the bailout.

Chief McCain strategist Steve Schmidt said yesterday on Meet the Press, "What Senator McCain was able to do was to help bring all of the parties to the table, including the House Republicans, whose votes were needed to pass this." And this morning, McCain backer Mitt Romney told NBC that "this bill would not have been agreed to had it not been for John McCain....this is a bipartisan accomplishment, a bipartisan success. And if people want to get something done in Washington, they just watch John McCain."

Instead, members of McCain's own party voted 133 to 65 against the measure. Democrats, on the other hand, voted 140 to 95 for the bill.

Apparently bigfooting your way onto a battlefield and then strutting around barking out crazy-ass orders to accomplish dubious ends is no substitute for being able to do a fucking whip count.

But then again, Senator Loves-The-Smell-Of-Napalm is not really a "process" kind of guy.
